Surrounders is a local services marketplace that connects people with trusted professionals nearby, personal trainers, beauty specialists, tutors, home-service pros and more. Clients discover pros, check their profiles and book in a few taps, on web or in the app, without downloading anything first. Pros get a free booking page they can drop into their Instagram link-in-bio, plus a simple way to manage clients and appointments. What makes it different: 0% commission. Clients pay the professional directly, so pros keep 100% of what they earn, no platform cut, no marked-up prices. Launching first in Cyprus (Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos), available on web, PWA and iOS, with Android and a Telegram Mini App coming.
Most great local pros, trainers, stylists, tutors, run their whole business through Instagram DMs and WhatsApp. Booking is chaos, clients get lost, and the big booking platforms either charge heavy commissions or are built for salons, not solo pros. On the other side, finding someone good nearby still comes down to asking friends. I wanted something that works like Airbnb for local services: the pro keeps their clients and their money, and people can finally find trusted pros around them in one place.
